The caller said they were concerned that it was too hot for the undocumented immigrants to be inside the trailer.

Police arrived at the truck stop and started knocking on trailers in the parking lot to find the trapped people. They heard people knocking back from one of the trailers and that's when they found 17 undocumented immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and Romania.

None of the immigrants required medical attention.

Edinburg police tell KRGV that Border Patrol will be taking over the investigation.

Two people, a man and a woman in charge of the tractor trailer have been detained.
